Life And Death

Chapter 2

Half an hour later we were in the car heading toward Northridge Elementary, the school that Chris attends.

"Mom do you think that I will ever get a chance to meet my dad?" he asked.

"I don't know, sweetheart. Maybe someday you will. However, I do know that if you want something to happen enough that it usually does even though it may take a while." I replied.

"Well, I hope that it happens soon. Mom why don't you te--- Mom look out!" he cried.

"What?" I asked then looked ahead. About half a block a way a car was coming straight at us. I turned the wheel sharply, and ran the car into a large oak tree.

When I looked around and saw who was driving the other car. I climbed out of the car yelling for Chris to get out of the car and run. I circled as she came closer.

"Well, well, look what we have here." She said as she came closer.

"Why are you doing this? Why did you and your father kill my family?" I asked trying to keep her attention on me, so that Chris could escape.

"Why do you care? You didn't even have the guts to stick around and find out then. So why are you so curious all the sudden? Huh Kyra?" She sneered.

"What is it that you want from me? Why don't you just tell me?" I shouted.

"You will know, when my Father decides that the time is right for you to know. Until then, you will just have to play along." She said laughing softly.

"So this is just some sick and twisted game to you? Well I don't want to play." I responded angrily.

"To bad. You will continue to play along or the next ones to get hurt will be those that still believe you to be alive." She said mockingly.

"Please don't hurt anyone else. Tell me what you were looking for that day with your father. Maybe I can still get it for you." I said trying to stay calm. Hoping to gain enough time for Chris to escape unnoticed.

"What are you playing at? Why aren't you running like you normally do?" She asked.

"I think the time is coming when I won't run away any longer. Then we will see who will win this." And with that said I quickly jumped up into the lower branches of the tree, and hid among the leaves.
